BALLET COMPANY IN VENEZUELA
INVITATION TO SYDNEY BALLERINA
The wealthy and colourful. Republic of Venezuela, in South America, spells adventure for a Sydney ballerina, Miss Lynne Golding, who is to help to establish a national ballet company there. She has been invited by the Ballet Inter-Americana to spend 12 months dancing and teaching ballets in Caracas, the capital of the republic, where she will also arrange ballet productions.
Miss Golding was a leading ballerina in the Australiam National Theatre Ballet Company, which visited New Zealand in 1951. It is two and a half years since Miss Golding left Australia to go to England, where she made her name in dancing in the pantomime “Didk Whittington.” Toward the end of March last year she went to Venezuela to dance there with the republic’s infant national ballet. She stayed seven months and learnt a great deal about the country, its devotion to dancing and talent for the Spanish type of dances. She became an expert at the Venezuela national folk dance “Hiaropa” which has a Spanish origin.
